Chapter 14: Attacked
A cloud floated by, obscuring the moon, and Li Jiu'an's room suddenly became dark.
At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps came from outside the window.
"Squeak."
In the darkness, the wooden window was gently pushed open, and a dark shadow quietly entered and closed quietly.
It stands to reason that the layout of the rooms of the same class in the inn should be the same.
The black shadow relied on his memory and walked inside.
"Three steps forward from the window, there's a screen, well, two steps to the right to avoid it, five steps forward."
"Smack." Probably bumped into a chair.
The black shadow was agile, and immediately reached out to grab it, and was afraid for a while.
"How can there be a chair here?"
The black shadow paused for a moment to think, could it be that he had misremembered?
After hearing the snoring inside, and not being awakened, he put his mind at ease, took out the fire fold from his arms, and blew hard.
A flame lit up in the darkness, just enough to illuminate the area in front of him.
An old wooden table, two chairs.
"It's weird, how can this be."
The dark shadow still hadn't figured it out in his heart.
Suddenly, a voice came from the darkness.
"What are you looking for?"
The black shadow was startled, only to feel a chill on his back, and goosebumps all over his body.
Immediately threw the fire fold back, and the whole person rolled to the window.
"Zheng."
The clouds began to move, and a ray of moonlight shone through the crack in the window, just as it shone on the unsheathed sword.
The body of the sword was wrapped in moonlight, like a long rainbow blocking the figure.
Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, the black shadow had to stop and draw his sword to face it.
Suddenly, there was a clanging sound in this small guest room.
And so it took a few tricks.
Finally, the clouds were completely removed, and the moonlight was in full bloom, illuminating the room.
"Who are you?"
The black shadow frowned, looked at the Taoist priest in front of him suspiciously, and then observed the layout of the room, and suddenly realized.
"This is not the No. 1 room in Tianzi?"
Li Jiuan only felt funny, this thief didn't look very smart.
Don't talk nonsense at the moment, raise your sword and continue to attack.
The black shadow seemed to want to speak, but before he could speak, he was drowned under Li Jiu'an's sword momentum.
One wrong step, one wrong step.
After a few clicks, the black shadow couldn't resist it, and was twisted by Li Jiu'an's long sword, and a short knife came out of his hand, and the person was forced to the window.
Li Jiu'an was unforgiving, and the long sword followed him like a shadow, stabbing straight towards the black shadow's chest.
This sword was left with seven points of strength, and it anticipated in advance all possible means of dealing with the black shadow, after all, he didn't want to take his life directly.
But the next move of the black shadow was something he didn't expect.
I saw that the black shadow did not retreat or hide, and there was no other way to escape, so it slammed straight into the tip of his sword.
Caught off guard, Li Jiuan didn't have time to change his moves, so he pierced the chest of the black shadow.
"Is this looking for death? It's not enough to be a thief when you're discovered, right? ”
This was the first thought in Li Jiuan's mind, but in a blink of an eye, he realized that it was wrong.
The weight of the corpse hanging from the sword was too light.
Li Jiuan found out that something was wrong and just wanted to withdraw, but it was too late.
The corpse suddenly looked up, two blushes on its moonlit white face, and then smiled weirdly.
"Peng."
The whole person exploded and knocked Li Jiuan out.
A sea of shredded paper filled the room.
At this moment, a golden light flashed, igniting the shredded paper encountered in the path.
Leave a trail of fire in the air.
The prepared hit is hidden up the black shadow.
The black shadow let out a scream, did not dare to linger any longer, opened the window and fled.
Li Jiuan wanted to chase again, but when he reached the window, he found that the black shadow was gone.
"That's the paper rune, and it's the hardest thing to learn, because you never know how many stand-ins he has."
Lao Dao just crawled out of the bed, disheveled, and said angrily.
"It's still your talisman that's amazing."
Li Jiuan really praised it, the old talisman is simply a treasure, although it is not very strong in terms of attack, but it is comprehensive, and there are all kinds of types.
"Then do you want to learn?"
"Yes."
"Then come back with me."
"No, no."
"Then you a fart and sleep."
The old man was extremely angry, turned over and lay down again.
Li Jiuan was helpless, what was this big night called?
......
Early the next morning.
Li Jiuan woke up from his sleep on time.
Since he started cultivating, his daily sleep time has decreased a lot, but his spirit can still recover very well.
"The boy is up."
"Finally, I will ask you again, if you will come with me."
Lao Dao sat on the chair and looked at Li Jiuan with a fierce look.
Not surprisingly, he still shook his head.
"If you want to be a hero, you will go, I will never know you, and no one will burn you when you die."
Lao Dao slapped the table and walked towards the door angrily.
Li Jiuan smiled bitterly and looked at the desktop that had been slapped by Lao Dao.
A pamphlet lies quietly on it.
There was also a talisman pressed under the booklet, and the exposed corner was glowing with gold.
It's been a long time.
The inn's stairs creaked.
A Taoist priest walked slowly downstairs.
"Did the trail chief sleep well last night? Do you want a bowl of tofu brain? Grandma Zhou's tofu brain is a must. ”
At this time, there was no one in the store, and the shopkeeper Wang was eating breakfast and drinking tea behind the counter, and greeted Li Jiu'an when he saw him coming down.
"Let's have a bowl of salted tofu brain."
Li Jiuan is a native of Jiangnan, although he loves sweets, but this tofu brain likes to eat salty.
Drizzle a spoonful of special chili oil over the tender tofu, and the taste is amazing.
Li Jiuan was very satisfied after taking a bite, and said casually.
"Shopkeeper, your inn is good, but it's easy to be remembered by thieves."
"Oh, there was a thief stealing something last night?"
The shopkeeper was very surprised when he heard this.
"What does the Taoist have to lose? The small shop will help you report to the official immediately. ”
"It's okay, I beat you away."
Li Jiuan looked at the shopkeeper angrily, how can there be officials in this place.
"That's great." The shopkeeper clapped his hands happily, and then apologized.
"So, as an apology to the guest, I'll send you a message."
"Xiaodao Chief, you go to the north camp to find Chen Yongchang and Chen Matou, and now he is the only one who dares to take the north trade road in this Quartet."
Li Jiuan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Thank you to the king's shopkeeper, and I will take my leave."
......
After another moment, the short-clothed man who was named to live in the second room of Tianzi yesterday limped downstairs.
"The guest officer slept last night..."The shopkeeper Wang was settling accounts, and when he heard the footsteps, he sent out his habitual greeting, and when he looked up, he found that the guest was injured.
"Why is this injury? Do you need a small shop to help you find a doctor? ”
The man in the short coat walked up to the shopkeeper with a dark face.
"I fell by myself, so I don't need to look for it."
Then he asked.
"Did the people who lived in Tianzi No. 1 room leave yesterday?"
The shopkeeper Wang still had a perfect standard smile on his face.
"The guests of Tianzi No. 1 left before dawn."
The man in the short coat scolded secretly and walked towards the door.
Approaching the door, he reluctantly turned back and asked.
"Shopkeeper, why is the No. 2 room of Tianzi, isn't it next door to the No. 1 room of Tianzi?"
"Oh, guest officer, someone told you that the second room of Tianzi is next door to the first room of Tianzi."
The smile of the shopkeeper Wang at this time seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
